What must candidates do to qualify for the merit list in the selection process?

To qualify for the merit list in the selection process, candidates must successfully clear both stages of selection. This typically involves passing all required assessments, which may include written tests and interviews, ensuring that candidates demonstrate the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies required for the position. The dual-stage selection process is designed to comprehensively evaluate a candidate’s suitability, making it imperative to excel in both parts.

The merit list is constructed using the overall performance of candidates, integrating scores from both stages. Thus, any candidate who fails to clear either component would not be eligible for inclusion in the merit list regardless of their performance in the other stage, reinforcing the requirement to clear both stages to secure a place.
